Hi,
I'm fairly new to machining and have a general question about the proper use of vises.
My general question is this:
If I'm using a vise to grip some work in a CNC milling machine, how do I figure out approximately how much of the workpiece I need to grip and how much force I need to apply through the vise? I've asked people at my shop about this and the answers I get indicate that the way that it's currently done where I work is that it's done mostly by trial and error.
Are there any calculations or rules of thumb that can be used to get a better idea of how to grip the part in the vise? Are there any good resources for learning more about such things?
